The Kaka Kronicles – episode #5

Today was a very interesting day. I played game #3 (Constaball) in the afternoon. This was the “Parking Violation” variation. Later, I was informed by my office that I had to produce 4 photos for a Swiss visa. Like Immediately. No problems. I walked across to Camera Citi (on Cathedral Road) and told them ‘4 Swiss visa photos’. The man at the counter looked at a large reference card detailing the visa photo specifications of each country and then asked me to step into the studio. Which was when I realized that I was wearing jeans and a black T-shirt (Friday dressing and all), and visa photos usually require something vaguely resembling formal wear. No praablem saar, the cameraman assured me, and proceeded to reveal a grayish large blazer and a bright red tie. So I took a photo wearing a Black T-shirt, Gray blazer and bright red tie.

He he he, I went to the same place Camera Citi and they gave me the blazer and tie too, luckily I was wearing shirt. But instead of me insisting on a pure White background, they digitally changed it to Cream-ish. But whatever, I love this system of having blazers and ties in the photoshop. Who says that only foriegn countries have easy lives 😉

Oemar/Ashok,
They not only have ties and blazers, but they have combs and mirrors, too! A small plastic wrapped piece of soap the size of a five rupee coin, and they could actually get into the business of renting out rooms for businessmen….
